Flat Track – Dirt Track – Board Track Racers

Flat Track – Dirt Track & Board Track Racers are a topic of personal interest for me. Here are some photos I’ve collected over the past. I cant remember where most of them came from. Also, a reminder; flattrackmn.org has brought back racing to northern MN. All sorts of classes to run in so get your sh*t together and lets do some racin’.

Roadside – miles from nowhere

Roadside somewhere between Lake Superior and Finland to stretch our legs, snap photos and take a leak. Pictures just don’t seem to capture it. You’re miles from nowhere with days to go. Glancing over your shoulder at the old miner towns. The dance hall windows have all been broken and the only sign of life is the glowing neon “Schmidt’s” hanging from a lamp post. Another sleepy town swallowed up by time.

Another addition to the chopper blog.

Road Trip – No Mans Land

It’s time for a road trip into no mans land. We’ve left for Northern Minnesota. We’re first headed up to Duluth followed by a trip through Tower and into Ely. From there, we head south on RT 1. For anyone who has never ridden one… this is a road less traveled. The last time I rode this stretch of asphalt, I shifted into neutral and coasted downhill for more than 3-4 miles at a time. Tons of little twists and turns, blind corners and wilderness. My last trip included almost rounding a corner into a wolf standing by the road side in broad daylight. Had to pack the tools for this one. Will get pics and return with stories.

Titled in Minnesota – back on the road

Have you checked out the forum lately? one of our very own has posted a wicked informative forum topic under the tech section describing the process for transforming a titleless cycle into a legit, registered, vehicle. I read it myself and even went along with him during the process. It sounds too easy to be true but it was totally for real. Read the article, get to your local DMV w/ your paperwork and lets get those abandoned motorcycle back on the road.
